- Offered: Winter
This course will introduce students to various applied technical math concepts required to analyze and study topics of the industrial maintenance field. Topics will include fractions, measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, graphs, and statistics. Topics are presented at the introductory level with an emphasis on applications.
- Offered: Fall Winter
This course will introduce students to safe use of equipment & tools used in the industrial maintenance field. Blueprint reading, precision measurement, steel identification, and fastener identification will be covered. Lab activities will reinforce theory discussions.
- Offered: Fall Winter
An introduction to basic electricity concepts including both DC and AC circuits. Course content will include topics on safety, tools, conductors, insulators, series and parallel circuits, electromagnetism and electric power. Theory will be reinforced by practical laboratory experimentation emphasizing the use of basic electrical testing equipment.
- Offered: Fall Winter
This course will introduce students to the history of workplace safety and its implications to workers and businesses in general industry. Cultural and ethical changes in safe work practices will be covered along with OSHA standards for General Industry, 29 CFR 1910.
An OSHA 30-hour card for General Industry can be earned by the student if certain OSHA requirements have been met. The course may be offered as either face-to-face or distance learning, “WEB”. Due to OSHA requirements, students can only earn the OSHA 30-hour card in the face-to-face course; students in the distance learning “WEB” version of the course are not eligible to earn the 30-hour card.
- Offered: Fall
Students will be introduced to the tools, equipment and techniques used in hoisting and relocating loads. Students will develop skills in load balance and control, hand signals and proper rigging methods.
